Governor Otti stated this in his Office when he received in audience a delegation of Zenco Group led by its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Cletus Oragwa to see things for themselves and explore possible areas of investment.
Gov. Otti reiterated that Abia State is open for business and always ready for serious – minded investors who want to harness the full potential of the State, saying that the State is equally blessed with abundant human and material resources.
The Chief Executive Officer of the State added that Abians are industrious and talented people.
“And it’s good that we are all thinking home, because, anywhere you go, home is still home.
“We are very open to business and very hungry to see the full potential of Abia State harnessed.
“The efforts we are making here in Abia State is to change the narrative and make our place a conducive environment for investment, for businesses, and for manufacturing.
“We are also very hungry for the potential of the State to be harnessed fully, including the human resources.
“There are a lot of other investors that are coming in, and our own job is to continue to make the environment conducive for the investors to come in,” Gov. Otti stated.
